There are several types of anxiety disorder, each with its own distinct features.
Anxiety Disorder was divided in to five major types:
26
1. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder GAD is an anxiety disorder that is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable and often irrational worry about
everyday things that is disproportionate to the actual source of worry.
27
People with generalized anxiety disorder feel anxious most of the time. They worry
excessively about routine events or circumstances in their lives. Their worries often relate to finances, family, personal health, and relationships with others.
Although they recognize their anxiety as irrational or out of proportion to actual events, they feel unable to control their worrying. For example, they may worry
uncontrollably and intensely about money despite evidence that their financial situation is stable.
